About this episode

Allie discusses the Texas Senate race and the moral implications of voting for flawed candidates while interviewing her brother about community issues.

Allie examines the Texas Senate race between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico and tackles the tough question: How should Christians vote when both candidates have serious flaws? She breaks down Paxton’s moral failings and past scandals alongside Talarico’s radically progressive positions—including his claims that “God is non-binary,” strong support for prison abolition, and open-border policies—while evaluating their records on life, family, borders, and justice through a biblical lens. Additionally, Allie interviews her brother, Justin Simmons, who is the US Attorney for the Western District of Texas. Justin details his mission to crack down on drug smuggling, human trafficking and fraud, while urging others to improve their communities rather than choosing a life of self-gratification. Gov.
